domain-check

What This Skill Does

The domain-check skill empowers the OpenClaw AI agent to interact directly with the Vercel Registrar ecosystem. It enables users to perform real-time availability checks on potential domain names across various TLDs (.com, .io, .ai, .dev, etc.) while providing transparent pricing for both initial purchase and renewal. Beyond simple lookups, the skill leverages the Vercel CLI to manage the full lifecycle of a domain: buying, inspecting, project association, and transferring. By automating these CLI interactions, users can transition from 'checking an idea' to 'securing an asset' without leaving the terminal context.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw installation command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/brennerspear/domain-check

Ensure that you have the Vercel CLI installed and authenticated on your system, as this skill acts as a bridge to your existing Vercel session tokens and configurations.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for developers and indie hackers who frequently launch prototypes. Common use cases include: 1) Batch-checking brand names across multiple TLDs to ensure consistent digital branding. 2) Quickly verifying if a domain is available at a reasonable price before starting a new side project. 3) Automating the connection between a newly purchased domain and a specific Vercel project deployment. 4) Managing domain portfolios by listing and inspecting existing DNS configurations or renewal statuses.

Example Prompts

1. "Check if 'skyflow-ai' is available for purchase and what the renewal price is for .com and .ai."
2. "Buy the domain 'quick-deploy.dev' for my current project using the Vercel CLI."
3. "List all my domains currently managed under Vercel and show me the status of 'my-startup.com'."

Tips & Limitations

• The buy command is interactive; ensure you configure your execution environment with pty: true to prevent process hangs.
• Pricing data is retrieved directly from the Vercel Registrar API. Always verify the price in the terminal output before confirming a purchase.
• This skill requires an active Vercel session. If your authentication token expires, you will need to re-authenticate via the standard Vercel CLI login process.
